This groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive documentary history
of children whose parents were identified as enemies of the Soviet
regime from its inception through Joseph Stalin's death. When
parents were arrested, executed, or sent to the Gulag, their
children also suffered. Millions of children, labeled "socially
dangerous," lost parents, homes, and siblings. Co-edited by Cathy
A. Frierson, a senior American scholar, and Semyon S. Vilensky,
Gulag survivor and compiler of the Russian documents, the book
offers documentary and personal perspectives. The editors present
top-secret documents in translation from the Russian state
archives, memoirs, and interviews with child survivors. The
editors' narrative reveals how such prolonged child victimization
could occur, who knew about it, and who tried to intervene on the
children's behalf. The editors show how the emotions from childhood
trauma persist into the twenty-first century, passing from victims
to their children and grandchildren. Interviews with child
survivors also display their resilient ability to fashion
productive lives despite family destruction and stigma.
